ok My friend is not willing to go to court and I can understand this with confidence issues so he has a week to pay the reduced amount or send a letter.
Any recommendations on what to say, he spoke with the garage and it was a case of nothing they can do! susprise surprise!
I spoke to him thursday and he was ringing planning at the 3 councils to check and also to motor fuels group which I contacted on facebook.
